Hey gang. Currently using sparkpost as my SMTP provider, however even with all of the DNS records in place for my domain (SPF/DKIM, etc), the vast majority of the emails sent by my site end up in the SPAM bin for my users. I switched over to mailgun as a test , and the email deliverability was pra…

This is covered in our official documentation on github. Give it a look. Spoiler alert: free ain’t gonna get you far.

Been using Mailgun and it’s working nicely for us so far! Very occasional deliverability hiccups, usually when one of their IPs gets on a mail provider blacklist, but their support is good. We have a medium-sized forum (around a thousand users, a few hundred active) and we’re still within Mailgun’s …

I used Pepipost’s free plan for quite some time and deliverability was fine. They manually verify domains and have a reward/penalty system for opened/unopened mails. Thus they are unlikely to attract raw spammers. Recently I switched to Amazon SES, which is quite affordable.

Seems to be that time of the year (yearly Discourse mandatory maintenance) :smiley: . Looks like gmail finally has killed off it’s 3rd party gmail access.

Got things to work, not the way I wanted initially but there might be one thing I misread. Short story, mailjet worked on the first (mailjet) try. Thanks for the help and/or a good forum with solutions. ▶ Summary

Way faster, thanks. Is this one of the “everyone that knows it uses it” or some sort of “should do the trick, but rebuild is safest”? Yupp, searched the site for how often this was mentioned… :smiley:
